Services

JBL Creative specialises in video production, photography, and social media management. We help small businesses, individuals, and creative projects build their online presence. For example, we create promotional videos, brand photography, and social media content that connects with your audience. As a result, your story will stand out in a crowded digital space.

Hey there, I’m James — The Creative Mind Behind JBL Creative

I’m a big believer that the best stories are told with heart. That’s why I founded JBL Creative — to help small businesses, individuals, and creative projects bring their stories to life. Through photography, videography, and social media content, we make storytelling personal and impactful.

My journey to this point has been anything but ordinary. Before starting JBL Creative, I spent years as a rock climbing instructor and competitive climber. I later worked as a chef and content creator. However, the consistent thread has always been my love of storytelling and connecting with people.

In 2022, I took the leap to start my own business. Driven by a desire to spend more time with my family, I turned my passion for creativity into a career. Since then, JBL Creative has worked with almost 100 clients. From events to bespoke birthdays, we’ve created content that helps businesses grow their online presence.

What sets us apart? It’s more than just making things look good (though we do that well). At JBL Creative, we focus on telling stories that resonate. We capture the authentic personality behind every brand or project. By doing so, we deliver content that feels real and connects with audiences in meaningful ways.

We offer videography, photography, and social media management for various projects, including:

  • Business promos
  • Events and bespoke birthdays
  • Creative and music projects
  • Social media content and strategy

Whether you’re looking for social media content that stands out, video that tells your brand’s story, or photography that captures the moment, JBL Creative is here to help you. Together, we’ll build your online presence and make your mark.


How we do things here

Our Approach

What makes JBL Creative truly different? It’s the personal touch we bring to every project. We’re not a faceless agency with a revolving door of freelancers. Instead, we’ve built a tight-knit crew of trusted collaborators who know each other — and know you. This approach ensures your project feels genuine, tailored, and seamless.

We take the time to understand your story, audience, and goals. As a result, we create authentic content that stands out in a crowded digital world. From the first chat to the final edit, we keep things simple and stress-free. Therefore, you can focus on what matters most — growing your business or project.

Whether it’s a one-off project or ongoing support, you’ll always work with a team that cares. We share your vision and bring it to life with creativity and passion.

Why Storytelling Matters

At JBL Creative, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just about the story you’re telling, but the people helping you tell it. Our core team of collaborators aren’t just freelancers — they’re colleagues and friends. Because of this, each project benefits from unique skills and strong creative connections.

We believe real connections make for better stories. While other companies treat your project as a transaction, we treat it as a collaboration. We take the time to get to know you, your brand, and your story. This approach ensures every piece of content resonates and leaves a lasting impression.

Whether it’s a business promo, social media campaign, or personal project, our content feels real, meaningful, and uniquely you. We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Instead, we create storytelling with heart.
